Problem: JavaScript’s .sort mutates the array
Problem: JavaScript’s .sort mutates the array.
Solution: Use .toSorted instead. It returns a new sorted array.
toSorted is new. It's part of ES2023.
Also new:
.toReversed (like .reversed)
.toSpliced (like .splice)
The convention: To avoid mutating the array, use methods that start with "to".
These new methods are already supported in major browsers, Node, and Deno too.
Oops, typo. Meant to say "like .reverse"
